I tried queuing for the roulette as a DPS earlier today (public holiday, early-to-mid afternoon) and the predicted wait time was 15 minutes. That's pretty normal for a dungeon queue on my server.

Requeued as tank, less than five minutes' wait.

Why assume that all newbies are playing DPS roles? (Or that all veterans are queuing as tanks and healers, for that matter. The run I had today didn't have any first-time players.)

I started as a healer. Fell into being a DPS due to the summoner class specifically appealing to me, but I've always kept white mage at a similar level to it.

And even if there's a bias to newcomers picking DPS roles first, there will still be veterans coming through with alts who know they should bring a tank or healer instead... right? That's what I did with my alts.
